Is Al Qaeda Winning the War in the Middle East?

So let me see if I got this right, we have lost more troops under Obama as he states the war is over but yet Al Qaeda is growing like Kudzo over there , yup exactly what I would expect from a Jr. senator - community organizer :laugh: Wow maybe he can run for a third term :rolleyes:




According to a CNN analyst, Al Qaeda controls more territory in the Middle East than ever before. They just retook the embattled city of Falluja and have consolidated power in sections of Syria. Al Qaeda has control over more territory than it did before the outbreak of the Iraq War in 2003. CNN reports (http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/07/opinion/bergen-al-qaeda-terrority-gains/):

No. It looks like they are being beaten back by pissed off locals.

Good! Hopefully more and more locals, and more and more authorities, from governments and police and military, will fight back and put these animals where they deserve.
